AMOS 5:24 (MSG)
Do you know what I want?
I want justice—oceans of it.
I want fairness—rivers of it.
That’s what I want. That’s all I want.
JOHN 16:13 (CEB)
However, when the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you in all truth. He won’t speak on his own, but will say whatever he hears and will proclaim to you what is to come.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
The outpouring of the Holy Spirit is more than a spectacle to marvel at; it is an outpouring of God's justice and righteousness.
DAILY FODDER
If God is pouring out his justice and righteousness with his Spirit, how is it that those of us who claim to be Spirit-filled are so so unaware of such issues as they are currently playing out?
PRAYER
Lord of justice, you desire justice and righteousness from us. You expect burbling brooks of living water, but often find dried up creek beds. Send your refreshing Spirit to flow upon us with truth and grace. Quench the thirst of those who seek justice and renew us in a rushing river of righteousness. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
